Well, I decided to reply, what with my being formerly employed in an anti-aircraft fraud role in Surrey and Berkshire.Imagine, thus, to receive an odd reply, to put it mildly, which I immediately felt was a little too pat. One typo in the body of the letter gave away the writer's origin. The idea behind handing over large wads of cash behind the scenes always struck me as being bogus.The same scenario applies here - yet another turkey hobble- gobbling its way to the front of the queue. It demonstrates how easy it is to steal a legitimate identity for a very different motive!⛔

I just got one of these emails today. It seemed obviously a scam to me but I can see where some people might fall for it.

REMEMBER: NEVER email your personal information to someone you don't know & NEVER send money to a person you don't know.

NOTE: Military NEVER have to pay for their leave, they NEVER are required to buy satellite phones and they ALWAYS have access to their needs including their money. REAL soldiers DO NOT need you to provide these things!
